... a prism [is] a metaphor for God’s Light beaming on the whole of humanity which refracts and disperses God’s Truth and reality in all of God’s different colors and angles. Thus, depending on where we stand we discern God’s Light from different angles and see God in different shades of color. Therefore it takes all of humanity and the array of the great religious traditions to see the totality of God’s Light. God, indeed, is too big to understand until we combine God’s Truth through our colorful array of different religious traditions. We might say that it takes a whole village to see who God is.

In science it often happens that scientists say, “You know that’s a really good argument; my position is mistaken,” and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn’t happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.

I learned an important lesson when I wanted to become a better seimmer – I thought swimming farether and faster was just a matter of trying harder, training harder. I would thrash madly through the water, but was left exhausted. When I learned that the water can actually push you up and help you float, it became much easier to glide through it. I relaxed, stopped trying to force things, and learned to swim better with less effort.
Life is like this. Life is water, and we tend to push too hard, thrash about, force things, struggle. Instead, learn to float, learn to allow things to become effortless. You’ll get farther and life will be that much more pleasant.

“The Prophet never asserted that he was the last of all prophets nor did he claim to have said all there was to say. Submission to God’s will is not to be a robot, incapable of choice and thus of sin. Submission can include – does include – utter responsibility for the fashion in which I, and each of us, shape the universe. It is ours to turn into a heavenly garden… or to rend and destroy.”
